Lorsque le Secrétaire d'Etat américain meurt dans un mystérieux accident d'avion, le Président des Etats-Unis, Conrad Dalton, désigne Elizabeth McCord, une amie de longue date, comme sa remplaçante. Chargée de la diplomatie internationale, cette femme brillante qui a fait carrière dans la CIA comme analyste, doit désormais jongler avec la bureaucratie, le staff mis en place par son prédécesseur qui ne lui est pas toujours favorable, la presse carnassière, les dîners officiels superficiels et sa vie de famille, quelque peu perturbée par ses nouvelles fonctions...

00:00Dr. McCourt, peux-je parler à ma thèse ?
00:03Uh, sure, durant l'office hours.
00:05Oui, vos heures ne fonctionnent pas vraiment pour moi.
00:07Sorry à l'entendre.
00:09Je vais demander une extension.
00:10Ma parents sont venus à la maison et ils sont très needy.
00:13Mon mari a pris tickets à l'opéra ce soir.
00:15Je vais te dire, ça va me faire falloir.
00:18Je suis désolé.
00:19Je pensais qu'on nous avait dit notre problème.
00:22Non l'extension.
00:24Hey, vous avez à manger tonight, parce que je vais en D.C.
00:27Right.
00:28C'est une réunion.
00:29Yes.
00:30Ever miss it ?
00:31The CIA ?
00:32No.
00:33I miss the people.
00:34But not the life.
00:36I don't know how you could walk away.
00:37You were the best analyst we had.
00:41Well, this can't be good.
00:42The Secretary of State's plane just went down over the Atlantic.
00:46He's dead.
00:50So how are you gonna do something relaxing today?
00:52Well, this relaxes me.
00:54Oh, uh, your phone.
00:56It wouldn't stop ringing, so I answered it.
00:58Who is it ?
00:59Some lady says it's the President's office.
01:01The PTA ?
01:03The United States.
01:11I recruited you for the CIA.
01:13I trained you as an analyst.
01:14I know how you think.
01:15You don't just think outside the box.
01:17You don't even know there is a box.
01:19I want you to step in.
01:21Step into what ?
01:22Secretary of State.
01:25You're joking.
01:26I realize you'll need some time to discuss this with your family.
01:29I'll give you the rest of the day.
01:31The King of Swaziland sits here.
01:33Madam Secretary, you'll be across from him.
01:35I've charted out all ten of his wives.
01:37Basically, it's a seniority system.
01:39Why are we entertaining the King of Swaziland ?
01:42The press loves stuff like this.
01:44The guy's exotic.
01:45Is it important to have all the wives?
01:46Think maybe we could have, like, cut it off and take three ?
01:51I know you have a friendship with the President,
01:53but you're in a system now.
01:54Trying to take advantage of that would be ill-advised.
01:57How would I take advantage of that ?
01:59By going around me.
02:02Got you the name of a stylist, right ?
02:04A stylist ?
02:05It's coming from the top.
02:06The Chief of Staff says I'm to be your personal appearance specialist.
02:09I don't need a stylist.
02:10The way he conveyed it to me, you don't have a choice in the matter.
02:14I've never met a situation where I don't have a choice in the matter.
02:18I have to get something to the press by tomorrow.
02:20Can I be resigned and conflicted ?
02:22You can never be either of those things.
02:24Can I be cautiously optimistic ?
02:26Well, that's for more serious world events.
02:28What if I'm grateful for the opportunity to expose the world
02:31to a variety of cultural differences ?
02:35That's really good.
02:36Should I write it down for you ?
02:37No, I'm the writer.
02:38Just as long as our roles are clear.
02:45Call the State Department !
02:49Speaking to the President, I'd like to brief him on the Syrian kidnapping.
02:52You know, we have rights.
02:53Call the American out of the city.
02:55It's a volatile situation.
02:56I don't want him being caught off guard if it hits the press.
03:00Two American kids arrested and imprisoned in Syria.
03:03Ethan and Tyler Cole, brothers from Hartford, Connecticut.
03:07We were sending Ethan to Europe for graduation.
03:09He asked Tyler to go with him.
03:11We had no idea they'd cross into Syria.
03:13If the State Department is going to take this on, it's going to recover.
03:16It has to go up the chain of command.
03:18What do you recommend ?
03:20I know some people on the ground.
03:22I'd like to proceed through back channels at this point.
03:24No, we have to do it my way.
03:28We're very happy to have his highness and all of his wives.
03:31And what about your family ?
03:33Do you have children ?
03:34I do.
03:35I have a son and a daughter.
03:36A nice small family.
03:37Well, I just have the one husband.
03:45Madam Secretary.
03:46We have a problem.
03:47It has to do with Operation Stupid Kids.
03:50Is that really what we're calling it ?
03:52That's what we were calling it before it went bust.
03:54Now we're calling it Operation Never Happened.
03:56They're going to execute those kids in a week.
04:00And I feel like I let the president down.
04:03How ?
04:04By not insisting that he do the right thing.
04:09I made an unofficial move on the situation in Syria.
04:12Things are coming.
04:13Why would you do that ?
04:14To save the lives of two innocent kids who aren't that much older than mine.
04:18I need to broker a deal on the ground.
04:20I'm sorry.
04:21I can't risk going back to Russia.
04:23It's a pigsty.
04:24I'm reminding you that the Secretary of State can have any foreign diplomat removed off of U.S. soil for any reason.
04:36You'd better be right about this.
04:37Or yours could be the shortest term in State Department history.
04:40Elihu B. Washburn under President Grant.
04:43Eleven days.
04:44I looked it up.
04:46Congratulations.
04:47You just bought yourself two stupid American kids.
05:04You want to tell me how those kids got released?
05:06By blatantly circumnavigating your authority?
05:09You'd better learn how to work with me instead of around me.
05:12My first choice as well.
05:13I make a much better ally.
05:15An opponent.
05:17Same here.
